Leaf art is a surprisingly diverse art category that has gained renewed popularity in modern times. These images range from the sensitive to the whimsical and are suitable for use in the home or office. As an art category, leaf art is full of different interpretations and ideas, making it an ideal art category for complementing individual tastes.
Some of the most aesthetically striking forms of leaf art are x-ray plant images. These images are generally pastel in color and reveal the inner construction of the leaf. Graphic plant designs like 'Cascading Eucalyptus' by Albert Koetsier and 'Celosia Leaves II' by Steven N. Meyers are typical of these modern leaf pictures.
Many modern leaf paintings are more concerned with having beautifully depicted graphic plant designs than having a fully representational image. Popular examples of this treatment can be seen in Georgia O'Keefe's 'Green Oak Leaves' and 'Tropical Landscape' by Brenda K. Bredvik. While these are two radically different examples, they are modern natural art prints that work to redefine what how the viewer understands the subject.
Stylized leaf images are also popular in this art category. These images look similar to 'leafs' people see on fancy furniture and other decorations. These graphic plant designs are unique and rarely resemble any actual plant life. However, these stylized leaf images, like 'Jacobean Leaf IV' by Vision Studio are unmistakably modern leaf prints, even if they only loosely resemble natural subjects.
